Understanding CAPS in South African schools
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) sets out what learners study and how they are assessed at each grade. Knowing the broad learning goals can help families follow progress and have useful conversations with teachers.
Literacy ·
Reading habits that grow beyond the classroom
A few minutes of shared reading, storytelling or library time can make literacy part of everyday family life. Reading in a home language as well as English can help learners build confidence, vocabulary and a lasting connection to books.
Numeracy ·
Building confidence with maths in everyday life
Cooking, shopping, travel and games all offer chances to practise numbers and problem-solving. Connecting classroom concepts to familiar situations can help learners explain their thinking and approach new challenges with confidence.
Senior phase ·
Choosing a path after Grade 9
Subject choices for the FET phase can shape future study and work options. Learners and families should consider interests, strengths and entry requirements, and speak with educators before making decisions.
Digital skills ·
Digital literacy is more than using a device
Learners need to search thoughtfully, assess information, protect personal details and communicate responsibly online. These habits help make technology a useful tool for learning across subjects.
Wellbeing ·
Why learner wellbeing matters to learning
Feeling safe, connected and supported helps learners participate in school. Families and educators can work together by listening, keeping communication open and seeking help early when a learner is struggling.
